The Tea Party Community is a conservative hub for sharing ideas, unifying a movement and organizing strategies to keep the United States of America in her rightful place as the greatest nation on earth. "We The People - Don't Tread on US!"

I am focused on these key political societal themes. Every action by every government level should be studied with an eye to these principles or thoughts. That meaqns every level of government from local school district to POTUS. If that action doesn't benefit the masses, we don't want it, it won't help us, it is NOT needed, vote it (and it's proponents) down! There are many other principles but for now, most won't read past this point! The real true patriots will not only read but join me in this effort. Social media is only a commo system. Direct personal ACTION by YOU is what I seek. If you aren't committed to the American dream, go back to your evening soap opera!

Yes, you may cut, paste, copy, post, save, spread this as far and wide as you will! Care to join me, we need an army of like-minded workers! I always look for like-minded new friends & followers! While I've spent far too much time on Facecrap, I beg you to copy these ideas and post anywhere and everywhere you wander. Hell, I hope you'll post them on your lawmakers wall, print them, hand them out to family, friends, neighbors. The ONLY cure for America's ills is MASSIVE community organization using all of Saul Alinsky's straegies and tactics. I'm starting this blog on Presidents Day 2018 and invite committed patriots to join me with the goal of #MAGA. By the way, that doesn't mean blind support for President Trump, it does mean pushing, promoting, and encouraging a return to our founding principles!

I care more about our countries future than almost anything else. The moral question of fairness can NOT be fixed by laws, rules, or regulations. I am a strict Constitutional believer...as it was written with the meanings at that time...it is NOT a living document…it does NOT need to change with time! Past radical interpretations have NOT solved any issue with a caring or fair or moral solution. The wish or desire for that solution may well be there but the result did NOT succeed. All those past experiments need to be excised from laws & case law returning us to a strict interpretation of the Constitution as written and intended by the founders. That also means state rights trump federal laws and regulations. If the Constitution says it’s the feds job then do it. If not, get the hell out of my life!

Talk about the absolute 100% failure of the GOPeee! Our Congress & POTUS just passed a budget with YYYUUUGGGEEE added spending and growth of government...that's exactly what We The People voted AGAINST in 2016!

Talk about the absolute 100% failure of the GOPeee! Our Congress & POTUS just passed a budget with YYYUUUGGGEEE added spending and growth of government...that's exactly what We The People voted AGAINST in 2016!

I and many others are for smaller government, much smaller, doing ONLY those things explicitly prescribed in the Constitution, maybe 50% smaller than today. HELL! I'd be gleeful with 25% smaller. I'd damn near be happy with an even smaller shrinkage. Shrinking the federal government solves the budget deficit problem. Again, if the job is NOT explicitly given to the Feds, end the federal rule, law, agency, bureau, department immediately. That slashing of the feds will contribute to solving the budget deficit crisis AND explode the economic growth of the nation’s economy.

Think about the deficit, the debt, and the interest thereon. Do you understand the impact of the interest on the government? Today, that interest payment in just a bit above 10% of the total revenue coming in to the US government. That folks is with the interest rates held artificially low for a long time! What happens to that portion of total federal income when interest rates double? In our household, we try to cut back...the feds will just borrow more.

Any economist worth anything has to conclude that this will not end well. While many of those theorists create some wild means of it all working out, I'll choose to believe it will not end well. The rich and powerful will survive fine, where will the debt crisis leave the average middle class American? What will happen to the poor?https://www.fool.com/retiremen t/2017/01/22/75-year...

So Tea Party friends, where do you stand on federal taxes and the IRS? Based upon the weaponization of the IRS against the Tea Party, I'd hope you are all 100% PO'd!

Our federal tax system is broken...beyond repair...fiddling will not/can not fix. The 2017 tax reduction and jobs act is just that, fiddling. That hoax law did NOTHING to make America goods & workers more competitive in the world market. Any simplification was countered by adding challenges on the other side. Yes, it will lower peoples taxes but at what cost? Yes, it may bring some foreign profits home but will that be enough to grow the economy?

We desperately need and should demand honest, real, true, and total tax reform! The FairTax is the ONLY answer, study it! The IRS & 16th need to go bye bye ASAP! The fact that the IRS was politicized against the right and conservatives during the Obama administration is wholly adequate evidence that the feds are out of control. The fact that current tax code and rules are 80,000 pages is just another bullet that says it’s broken beyond repair. If you call the IRS to ask a question on 10 different days, you’re likely to get 10 different answers. That’s a broken beyond repair agency! BTW, the Fair Tax is just over 100 pages!!! The Fair Tax is the ONLY reform that TERMINATES the IRS. The Fair Tax is the only reform that terminates the 16th amendment! The Fair Tax is the only reform that collects from the underground economy when they buy any new good!

We Americans suffer under the illusion that we have a free market economy when in fact it is a crony corporate capitalism nightmare brought to us by massive corporate interests and their bloated government bureaucratic friends. I don't have all the answers as to how to repair but we need to SLASH regulations written too oft by those mega corporate cronies for their bureaucratic friends. President Trump has begun that process and much remains to be accomplished! Doing so (reducing regulations) will enhance the economy, likely reduce the budget deficit, and reduce bureaucratic and crony bungling. What does your town, county, state do regarding disfunctional regulation? Where do your close to home lawmakers stand on unreasonable licensing of work and jobs? What are those local people doing to enable your community to better able recruiting of new businesses and expanding existing ones? The old rule of follow the money may well apply. The old sayings about power and corruption also seem to apply! Heritage reports on economic freedom are quite interesting. Imagine what could happen if America (stunningly low #18) gained a number of spots towards #1! https://www.heritage.org/index /ranking

How in heavens did the USA arrive at a point where the schools we send our children to are preaching the total failure of economic history socialism? . I lump socialism, communism, government unions, AND radical Islam in the same boat. Let's exorcise them from our society! That means blow up, educate people about their ills, kill them, and sink those unholy partners of evil. No co-working with, no co-existing, no partnering, no tolerance. All are threats to our & the world’s freedom & liberty & life. None of those ism’s, m’s or n’s have contributed anything positive to the people of the world in general - never in all of recorded history! None of them provide educational, hospital, care giving, inspirational, or nurturing institutions or agencies or bodies. They all seek to control people, their lives, and their outcome from higher powers. Those higher powers are the ONLY beneficiaries of any or all of those systems. They are all dictatorial in nature. Yet so many American's sit idly by while the power hungry take little bites of power from the whole of the country in laws, rules, education, beliefs, norms, etc. ONLY YOU can prevent the demise of our formerly great country! Only we together, as a village, can wrest control of the centers of power away from the power hungry leftist anti Americans. ONLY YOU can help spread conservative thought across America! #MAGA

Have you heard of the coming "debt bomb"? Federal budget deficits MUST be dealt with and reined in. Congress has proven they are NOT capable or willing to do so. Neither of the two main parties show any evidence of an ability or willingness to solve the problem of deficits. The ever increasing national debt could result in the ruin of the American Republic experiment (remember, we are NOT a democracy). Since the government is ever expanding, the ONLY means of reining it in is the pass a constitutional balanced budget amendment. Since lawmakers are failures at doing so, an Article 5 Convention of States is the ONLY means to at least reduce or better yet end deficit spending. The DC swamp will never be reduced on its own volition. The ONLY solution is to force a change in prolific over spending by both parties and all branches of government. If you’re not concerned, you do not understand. If, IF interest rates rose to the historically high levels they were during the Carter administration (17%), do you know what portion of the federal spending that interest would amount to today? Today’s federal spending is about $3.5 trillion annually. That interest cost would be $3.4 trillion! Go ahead, read that again! How about what percentage of today’s federal income? Total federal intake today is about $2.5 trillion. Yes folks the interest (at the highest rates we experienced about 35 years ago) on today’s debt exceeds today’s revenues by almost a TRILIION per year. If that doesn’t scare the crap out of you, you simply are clueless! If you aren’t clueless, you can NOT vote for any incumbent in federal office today!

Similar to the overspending problem, Congress will NEVER limit themselves! Term limits for the President made sense...why didn't they limit themselves? Our Federal elected officials or lawmakers are another specific area that requires a similar Convention of States Constitutional amendment. Our lawmakers will NOT self-limit. Hence, we need to do it for them.

Short term limits AND no retirement AND no special benefits or laws may work towards those lawmakers listening to We The People more than the lobbyists and contributors who now have their ear and attention. Short term limits means 1 term of 6 years in the House and 1 term of 6 years in the Senate then go back home and get a real job like the rest of We The People.

Retirement? All of Congress shall be put into the existing social security system like all the rest of We The People. All laws passed by Congress shall apply to Congress the same as they apply to We The People. That means that Congress people are subject to the same restrictions on insider trading as the rest of We The People. Doesn't it make you wonder how people making around $180,000 a year have there net worth increase MULTIPLE TIMES THEIR EARNINGS? They allow themselves to invest on inside information...and quite profitably it would seem. You or I do that and we're in JAIL!

Lobbyist Power? I’d also add that NO lawmaker is allowed to vote on ANY bill, law, or regulation that the lawmaker has ANY financial benefit or interest in. That means if the received any campaign contribution from ANY person or company that could, might, does, or hopes to benefit from any law, they can’t vote on it. Must be crafted so that even indirect ads via some screwy unrelated PAC are counted too! Penalty is a 100% tax on BOTH the donor and the recipient. That should take care of campaign finance reform (if written with strict language).

We’ve spent $20 TRILLION on the war on poverty over the last 50 years. What have we gained from that? Nothing other than a huge load of takers, higher rates of fatherless children, welfare queens with zillions of kids from varied baby daddy’s, and a similar percentage of poor people.

We’ve spent $20 TRILLION on the war on poverty over the last 50 years. What have we gained from that? Nothing other than a huge load of takers, higher rates of fatherless children, welfare queens with zillions of kids from varied baby daddy’s, and a similar percentage of poor people. Welfare needs to end permanently. Is it any coincidence that the national debt is about the same as the wasted money spent on the war on poverty? How caring (stupid) is a country that wizzes $20 trillion down the drain and achieves nothing? How fair is that to the rest of the country? Wouldn’t people be better off (both the takers and the makers) and the government be more caring (and fair) to help individuals to enjoy the pride of a job and earning their existence? Welfare is the common typical leftist liberal program...great goals & objectives, just no positive results, NONE! I challenge you to watch Milton Friedman, maybe even help spread it around! https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=bROcMAdZT9c

Immigration needs MASSIVE changes, YYYUUUGGGEEE changes! First, immigrants need to bring something to the dance or we don’t want or need them. I don’t care if they’d be better off here. Will we be better off with them here? Second, immigrants will never get ANY federal benefits – no welfare, no medical, no tax credits, etc. (use Mexico immigration law as a guide)! Third, immigrants will NEVER be allowed to vote (see Mexico law). Fourth, if an immigrant can’t be vetted and proven to be a law abiding person, they are not welcome nor needed nor will they benefit America, so they can never be allowed entry let alone any ability to stay. Fifth, those here now as illegal aliens will be deported and either never allowed to apply for entry or allowed after 20 years of unblemished vetted history in their homeland. Sixth, anchor babies are over. We did NOT have jurisdiction over their parents and hence the child does NOT have American citizenship. And the related parties now allowed are not full American citizens (end chain migration). Seventh, if an immigrant does NOT assimilate 100% into the fabric of the historic America, they can be disavowed and returned to their homeland. Eighth, Islam and the Constitution are incompatible. Hence Islamic immigration is strictly limited – no Koran’s, no mosques, no radical Muslims of any kind, no proselytizing, no hijabs (use the Japanese and Polish standards as a guide).https://cis.org/Report/Welfare -Use-Legal-and-Illeg...
